Why isn't there an nuclear powered gun yet?

RRRRRAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

That doesn't make any sense

Like instead of gunpowder a nuclear bomb is inside each casing?

>put small nuclear explosion behind projectile
>extreme power of nuclear blast sends the projectile flying at hypersonic speeds

it makes a lot of sense

what if the projectile was like a nuclear bomb inside that explodes upon impact

someone post the stuff about the russian steam shaft gun capable of putting stuff into space

Because I ND into you raifu every night and make use your 2dpw waifu to clean it

It's called a ship mounted railgun.

Interesting proposition. A man portable reactor that you can use the concentrated steam pressure from the reactor to dismember/irradiate your target.

Because you play with yourself.

Portable casaba howizer when?

fudds owning nukes maybe?

dumb frogposter

Because the radiation will kill you as well? Its much better to just invent a better gunpowder

Why not make nuclear bulllets?

What if we could downsize it to a 30mm round and make it shoulder-fired?

>he wants to give the public
>THE PUBLIC
>nuclear powered man portable firearms

remember who is in the public, user. it's totally feasible, but some of these monkeys can't be trusted with 9mm let alone high explosive / CBRN ammo.

>radioactive blast powder covers your sleeves, torso, and goes into your lungs
congratulations, you played yourself

>radioactive blast of gun's chamber coats the inside of your face

bigger issues desu

not necessarily a bigger issue than an ordinary nuclear-free projectile intersecting with your body. stop being a retard. nukes are payload only. even in the enormity of space using nuclear blasts as propellant is braindead stupid.

Nuclear energy to propel projectile rather than chemical energy.

Wow, another noguns making a shitty noguns post. Kys

really?

Feelin' a bit green...

Fudds would have to get deer hunting licenses with Bag Limit: "Holocaust"

Project Pluto?

OP, you realize there is a minimum amount of mass you need of Uranium or Plutonium to actually have a violent fission reaction? Like, the smallest nuke ever created, the Davy Crockett, still fucked up everything in a 3 mile radius around it...

So, go full retard and make it into a melee weapon.

But that's not "nuclear powered" any more than a car is "electrical powered" because the battery turns it on
The gun is still mechanically actuated, a "nuclear powered" gun would somehow be powered itself by nuclear fission
I'm sorry for being a sperg but a "nuclear powered gun" is like a "hydraulic powered gun". That doesn't mean anything.

If you mean
>Splitting an atom vs quick oxidation of smokeless powder
Then you're talking about a FUCKING ATOMIC BOMB in your hands
Those aren't known to play nicely
